milpilot,

the wide chord blade is also lighter for it's size, since it is hollow (2 pieces of titanium sealed at the edges and then inflated like baloons in a mold to make the twisted shape on the RR blades) and therefore weighs less than a solid blade of the same size. though thiknking about this it's more an engineering benefit than operational.

good luck,
